Lin Mengmeng's days at the Academy of Esoterics are filled with challenges and growth. After her confrontation with Song Xiaoqing, her confidence has noticeably improved. Shortly after, Jiang Hanting, known for his strictness and professionalism in the academy, officially became her Esoteric training instructor.
Jiang Hanting has a stern appearance, and his sharp, piercing gaze always makes people feel somewhat distant. His black hair is neatly groomed, and his tall, straight figure makes every movement appear particularly precise and powerful.
"Lin Mengmeng, from today on, I will be your training instructor. I hope you can keep up with my pace," said Jiang Hanting in a deep and powerful voice, as if every word was filled with authority.
Standing in front of him, Lin Mengmeng felt a slight pressure, her heart racing, but her eyes were filled with determination. She nodded slightly to show her understanding.
On the first day of training, Jiang Hanting demonstrated his strict and professional training methods. He not only guided Lin Mengmeng on how to better use her healing Esoteric, but also conducted comprehensive training on her physical fitness and reflexes.
"Hurry up, Lin Mengmeng! Your reaction is too slow," Jiang Hanting stood on the side, coldly observing Lin Mengmeng's training, his tone filled with dissatisfaction.
Lin Mengmeng is working hard to speed up. Her body is already soaked with sweat, but she still grits her teeth and doesn't give up on any attempt. Although her face looks a bit tired, her eyes reveal determination.
"Your Esoteric still has a lot of room for improvement. You need to concentrate more and feel the flow of your energy," Jiang Hanting's guidance is both strict and targeted.
Lin Mengmeng listened to Jiang Hanting's guidance, closed her eyes, and tried to feel the energy within her body. Her palms slowly emitted a soft light, which was her Esoteric healing power gradually taking effect.
Jiang Hanting watched Lin Mengmeng's efforts. Although his face remained stern, his eyes revealed a hint of approval. "Not bad, at least you are making an effort."
On the training ground, Jiang Hanting's figure is like an unmoving mountain, firm and ruthless. His eyes reveal a sternness, and every instruction is direct and precise, leaving no room for emotion. When Lin Mengmeng successfully completes a training task under his guidance, he merely nods coldly, as if it were a matter of course.
Standing in front of Jiang Hanting, Lin Mengmeng appears somewhat nervous and uneasy. Her hands tremble slightly, showing the inner struggle she is facing under immense pressure. Whenever Jiang Hanting's tone becomes sharper and more severe, a hint of pain appears on her face, and her eyes flash with feelings of inferiority and defeat.
After a certain training session, Jiang Hanting coldly commented, "Your reaction is still too slow. In real combat, this speed will only make you a target for the opponent." His words were like a sharp sword, piercing directly into Lin Mengmeng's heart.
Lin Mengmeng lowered her head and responded in a weak voice, "I... I will work harder." Her fingers tightly grasped her clothes, showing that her heart was going through intense struggle.
Jiang Hanting glanced at her, his eyes still cold, but his tone carried a subtle concern: "You need to become stronger, Lin Mengmeng. In this world, only the strong can survive." Though his words were stern, they also implied recognition of her potential.
Lin Mengmeng lifted her head, looking at Jiang Hanting's stern face. Though she felt afraid, her gaze gradually became resolute. She knew that even though Jiang Hanting's methods made her uncomfortable, his training was necessary for her growth. She took a deep breath and said firmly, "I understand, Senior Jiang. I will work even harder."
Jiang Hanting heard this and his lips curled up slightly, revealing a rare smile. He turned and walked to the other side of the training ground, leaving Lin Mengmeng in a quiet space to prepare for the next challenge.
Under Jiang Hanting's training, Lin Mengmeng's Esoteric did improve gradually. Although the process was full of difficulties, she also kept learning and growing, slowly becoming stronger.
"You're still far from enough. In a real battle, your abilities won't be enough to protect yourself at all," Jiang Hanting's words pierced Lin Mengmeng's heart like a cold knife.
Lin Mengmeng lowered her head, feeling a wave of disappointment. She clenched her fists tightly, took a deep breath, and tried to suppress her emotions.
At that moment, Jiang Hanting walked up to her, his gaze softening slightly. "You need to learn to be strong, Lin Mengmeng. In this world, only by constantly growing can we survive," he said in a deep voice, but with a hint of encouragement.
Lin Mengmeng looked up at Jiang Hanting's serious face, feeling a surge of inexplicable strength in her heart. She nodded, determination shining in her eyes. "I understand, Senior Jiang. I will work even harder."
On that cold morning, the training ground was simulated with special devices to resemble a storm-ravaged environment. The biting wind and freezing temperatures made the entire area extremely harsh. In such conditions, even the strongest Esoteric practitioners would feel immense pressure.
Lin Mengmeng stood in the center of the field, dressed in heavy winter clothing, yet still feeling the piercing cold. Her face was somewhat pale, with a hint of unease and tension in her eyes. Her fingers trembled slightly, but she tried to keep herself calm, taking a deep breath, preparing to begin her training.
Jiang Hanting stood at the edge of the training ground, his face devoid of any expression, his eyes calm and deep. His voice cut through the storm, coldly saying, "Remember, Lin Mengmeng, the purpose of this training is to keep you focused in extreme conditions and effectively utilize your Esoteric. Don't let external factors affect your judgment."
Lin Mengmeng nodded, her voice trembling in the wind, "I understand, Senior Jiang."
As the training began, the storm gradually intensified, and the low temperature made her hands and feet feel numb. She focused hard, channeling her Esoteric into her hands. A faint green light rose slowly from her palms as she began to simulate healing. Amidst the raging storm, this process became extremely difficult. She was often blown about by the strong winds, but she gritted her teeth and persevered.
Jiang Hanting quietly observed her every move, his eyes still cold, but a barely perceptible hint of admiration flashed in his eyes as he saw Lin Mengmeng's unwavering efforts.
The scene inside the storm simulator is like a real polar storm, with the biting wind mixed with merciless ice and snow relentlessly hitting Lin Mengmeng's body. She stands there, her body slightly leaning forward, as if she could be blown down by the fierce wind at any moment. Her cheeks are flushed from the ice and snow, and there is a glistening frost on her eyelashes, but her eyes reveal an unprecedented determination and focus.
She closes her eyes, takes a deep breath, trying to find a moment of peace in this raging storm. Her hands slowly rise, and as her Esoteric activates, a faint green light slowly emanates from her palms. The light seems to carry a warmth and healing power, and the surrounding air seems to become milder as a result, and the fury of the storm appears to weaken slightly.
Jiang Hanting stood in a safe place, wearing heavy winter clothing, his eyes calmly watching every move of Lin Mengmeng. When he saw that Lin Mengmeng could still focus in this extreme environment, a slight smile unconsciously appeared on his lips. He nodded in approval and said, "Well done, Lin Mengmeng. It seems my expectations of you were not in vain."
Upon hearing this rare praise from Jiang Hanting, Lin Mengmeng felt an indescribable warmth in her heart. She gently opened her eyes, looked in the direction of Jiang Hanting, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on her lips. Her voice trembled in the wind, but was filled with gratitude as she said, "Thank you, Senior Jiang. It's your strictness that has helped me improve."
Jiang Hanting did not answer, but just nodded, indicating that the training should continue. He turned around, his gaze once again becoming serious and calm, but the trust and expectation for Lin Mengmeng revealed in his eyes were self-evident.
In this extreme training environment, Lin Mengmeng not only honed her Esoteric, but more importantly, she learned to stay calm and focused under pressure, which undoubtedly would greatly contribute to her future growth. Lin Mengmeng gained not only skill improvement from Jiang Hanting, a calm, rational, and slightly sarcastic instructor, but also inner growth and accumulation of confidence.
After the training ended, Jiang Hanting walked up to her and spoke in a slightly softer tone: "You have proven your abilities. But remember, the path of an Esoteric is always full of challenges, and you cannot stop moving forward."
Lin Mengmeng took a deep breath and responded, "I know, Senior Jiang. I will continue to work hard and not let you down."
Jiang Hanting nodded, then turned and walked away. His figure appeared particularly lonely in the lingering glow of the sunset, but at the same time, it was filled with strength.
Lin Mengmeng stood in place, watching Jiang Hanting's departing figure, feeling grateful. Under Jiang Hanting's training, she not only improved her Esoteric, but more importantly, she learned how to maintain resilience and courage in the face of difficulties.
The setting sun cast a golden glow over the training ground. Lin Mengmeng stood there, filled with motivation.
